Tell me about it, you could be shooting up heroin on Tuesday and pass a drug test on Thursday. Smoke a joint and you won't be able to pass a drug test for a couple of weeks. Might as well just be honest and call it Marijuana Testing.

It is detectable for a very long time, up to a month in urine, and much longer in blood.

One problem in some of the existing research is that there was no measurement of cannabis within two to three hours of driving. Inactive metabolites of THC, a chemical found in marijuana, can be present in urine for weeks or even a month after usage

We hear a lot about the hazards of drunk driving, but here's something else to put on your radar: A study in the British Medical Journal found that marijuana nearly doubles the risk of vehicle collisions.

Researchers conducted a systematic review of nine studies on the subject of marijuana and driving accidents, which incorporated almost 50,000 participants.

Duh! So does alcohol,sleeping pills and dozens of other drugs.

Nobody ever said you should smoke pot and drive.

So what's the issue?

So what? It doesn't mean you're impaired, or under the influence. He just said in a previous post that the intoxicating effects wear off after 3-4 hours. Drug testing is flawed! Especially when someone can snort coke on Tuesday and p*** clean on Thursday! Do too much coke in one sitting it can kill you! Smoke too much weed and you fall asleep.

All drug testing should be illegal.
